Enfield in Canada, right?
Or let me ask the question a different way: Where in Canada was the Inglis Hi-Power factory?
Thanks. :)
Kyle, sorry I didn't respond yesterday. I'm no expert, and it's too late for this gun now, but here's some info.
The gun pictured has an internal extractor, "thumb print" slide and ring hammer....
Congrats. Hi-Powers are my favorite. :)
Hope you eventually get some pictures up, Bruce. I'd like to see the gun. :)
Good thread, gentlemen. Thank you. :)
A good comparison and a worthwhile thread. Thank you, sir. :)
In the sixth picture from the top, it looks like there is a large space below the barrel where it fits in the end of the slide. Can you comment? Is it the image or the gun? Thanks. :)
@ Anzac15: Nicely done, sir.
This morning, I happened to see a Dreyse spoken of in this thread --> Show your papered bring backs thread! - Page 2 . You might look at Post #77.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but my understanding is that, if medical personnel were to have carried weapons, they would have been in violation of international accords regarding...
Off-Topic: As noncombatants, medical doctors were not issued weapons. True in WWII (my father was U.S. Army M.D. in the European Theater). True in WWI?
Sounds like Gordon Bethune's kind of purchase. What a beautiful gun. I'd have it just to stare at the finish. Can't get over the condition. Could those grips really not have aged at all?
You have a point. But the detail and thoughtfulness is notable. They did more than just slather the guns in fancy paint.
I object to the soldiers wearing sunglasses. I think that's disrespectful....
I don't believe that I have ever seen grips with quite that pattern. (But I am not an expert.)
Great to see these items (which I have never seen before). Thanks. :)
Exactly.

Would love to see pictures of a "complete kit." :)
That's cool in a really ultimate way. :)
So, has anybody been collecting the original screwdrivers?
I like it. Looks like it's in nice shape, and that lettering on the backstrap really makes it for me. Congrats. :)
@rcathey: I'd like to see more of the PPK with silencer. :)
That's pretty amazing to think about because it means that "existing inventory" would have carried the U.S. military from 1945 to ca. 1985. Sounds like a whole lotta guns to me. :)
Cool gun with a great history and a great family connection. I wish I could see the proof marks. As you probably know, Inglis made Hi-Powers like yours for Britain and China under contract during the...
These guys do quality springs, they sell kits and they are very helpful. You might ask them.
